Years ago, a 7 year old (Michael Dietrich) European boy walked across the street in a new Alexandria , Virginia neighborhood to make some new friends, when he was attacked by the neighborhood gang. As initiation into the neighborhood they grabbed him threw him on the ground, kicked, punched and hit him over the head with bats. He almost died. For the next three years he lived a sheltered life and grew too be very shy and lacking in confidence. Until, at age 10, after viewing an inspiring Bruce Lee movie, this shy, unconfident, young boy and his 3 year old kid brother took their first introductory karate lesson. In those times a 3 year old starting karate was unheard of, so the little tyke cried until they decided to give him a chance...years later...
